Lauren Steel

I am offering violin lessons and piano lessons for students of all ages. I have a Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Arts from Monash University, in which I majored in classical violin. In addition to this, I have a Master of Teaching (Secondary) Internship from the University of Melbourne, with over eight years of classroom teaching experience (in English and Music, including VCE Music)

I have over 15 years of experience teaching violin and piano and have developed a range of strategies to cater for different student learning styles. For young beginners, I use Suzuki methodology to ensure that they develop a love for playing before all else! Many of my strategies come directly from my teaching degree and have been effective in improving both technique and overall musical understanding in all of my students.

I prepare students for AMEB exams, but also have many students who are simply learning for fun - I am happy to be guided by what my students' goals are.

I am also offering tutoring for students completing VCE music, to assist with the theory and aural components of the end of year exam.

Lessons will take place in Gowanbrae or Pascoe Vale.

If you’d like to start learning violin or piano with an enthusiastic, experienced, and patient teacher give me a call and we can organise a trial lesson!
